Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded coconut
  • 1 cup almond flour

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup maple syrup (or honey/agave nectar)
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk (can use any liquid of choice)

Chocolate Coating

  • 1–2 cups chocolate chips (can use homemade chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, food processor, or mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, maple syrup, and coconut milk until a thick dough forms. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add a little more coconut milk until the desired consistency is reached.
  2. Form Balls and Freeze: Transfer the dough into a large mixing bowl. Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking, then form the dough into small, bite-sized balls. Place the formed balls onto a plate and freeze them to firm up.
  3. Melt Chocolate and Coat Balls: While the coconut balls are in the freezer, melt the chocolate chips using a microwave or double boiler method until smooth. Quickly remove the balls from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the coated balls on a plate and refrigerate until the chocolate is firm and set.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar for different flavor profiles.
  • If the dough gets too sticky to handle, refrigerate it for a short time before forming the balls.
  • For a nut-free version, replace almond flour with oat flour or ground sunflower seeds.
  • Use dark, milk, or white chocolate chips depending on your preference.
  • Store the finished chocolate coconut balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
